Default RE: Trailing edges?

I do not recall the sources but this has been discussed many times. The consensus of all, if I remember correctly is, if high speed then a very sharp tapered but stiff trailing edge is best; for normal sport flying the square edge is best and worst in all cases was the rounded trailing edge. Since it is very difficult to get a sharp and stiff trailing edge, most RC craft benefit best with the square trailing edge.
